World’s 100 most unusual and endangered birds

The “little dodo”, a flightless parrot and the world’s largest ibis are among the world’s 100 most unusual and endangered birds, according to a new study.

Scientists from the Zoological Society of London (ZSL) and Yale University assessed the world’s 9,993 bird species according to their evolutionary distinctiveness and global extinction risk to produce a list of the world’s 100 most Evolutionarily Distinct and Globally Endangered (Edge) species.
